Well I knew that day would come, when I would walk into the lightI never thought I'd be this young, but I guess tonight's the nightI'm gonna miss my family, man I wish I had more timeTo do the things that I wanted to do, before I got into this lineA million other people are trying to get to the same placeWhat am I gonna do when I see St Peter's face

CHORUSI know I'm not the greatest man but I did the best I canI tried to live an honest life but the again I'm just a manIf you could find it in your heart to let me through to the other sideI wanna see the streets of gold and the angels in the skySee the angels, see the angels, see the angels in the sky

This line goes on for miles, I'm gonna be here for awhileI'm standing here waiting, and it feels like I'm on trialBut there's no judge or jury just a man and a pearly gateHeaven is on the other side and this man's gonna seal my fateWell there's way to much at stake, so I better build my caseWhat am I gonna say when I see St Peter's face

CHORUS

Now I'm searching for the perfect words, hoping that my life deserves A chance for me to see those golden streetsNow I'm standing right in front of him, "why should I let you in my friendWhat do you believe?"
